Christopher Columbus & the New World (part 2)

The Knights of Columbus third degree emblem is a “fasces,” the fascist symbol overlaying a Nazi Iron Cross in black, red and white just as in Hitler’s Germany. The “fasces” fascist symbol is an axe supported by bundled reeds representing the power of the many when bound to one ideal. Disturbingly the fasces is also found at US Senate, the Colorado seal, the Lincoln monument, the dime and many other places. The Knights of Columbus seem to be a philanthropic male fraternity, so why all the Nazi symbolism? Perhaps the hidden history of their namesake Christopher Columbus will shed some light.

“The most obvious symbol of the Brotherhood’s intent is the fasces, from which we get the word, fascism. You can see it at the bottom of a United States ‘liberty’ symbol and in the CongressBuilding. It was a symbol used widely in the Roman Empire and it consists of rods bound together around an axe. This axe is the origin of the term Axis Powers for the fascist countries in the Second World War. The symbolism is of people and countries bound together under a common centralized dictatorship, the axe.” -David Icke, “The Biggest Secret” (365)

When Columbus first came ashore and was greeted by the Arawak native Americans with smiles, gifts and food, he wrote in his log: “They brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears and many other things … they willingly traded everything they owned … They do not bear arms, and do not know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron. Their spears are made of cane … They would make fine servants … With fifty men we could subjugate them all and make them do whatever we want.” (Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States”)

From the very outset Columbus was writing about conquering and enslaving the natives. Meanwhile the Arawaks, brought gifts, prepared food, and traded everything they owned. Columbus wrote that the natives “are so naïve and so free with their possessions that no one who has not witnessed them would believe it. When you ask for something they have, they never say no. To the contrary, they offer to share with anyone.” He also wrote, “I believe that they would easily be made Christians, because it seemed to me that they had no religion.” The European settlers took a free society without possessions, property, currency, hierarchy or written religion and replaced it with today’s America – the world’s shining beacon of selfish materialism, where every square inch of land/water/airspace is publicly or privately owned, taxed, and governed through a corrupt hierarchical system of laws and regulations where Mother Nature’s gifts are treated as personal possessions to be bought, sold, owned and defended.

Howard Zinn, in “A People’s History of the United States” continues: “Columbus wrote: ‘As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.’ The information that Columbus wanted most was: Where is the gold? … His second expedition was given seventeen ships and more than twelve hundred men. The aim was clear: slaves and gold … They went from island to island in the Caribbean, taking Indians as captives … roaming the island in gangs looking for gold, taking women and children as slaves for sex and labor.”

“It was his [Columbus’] avowed aim to ‘convert the heathen Indians to our Holy Faith’ that warranted the enslaving and exporting of thousands of Native Americans. That such treatment resulted in complete genocide did not matter as much as that these natives had been given the opportunity of everlasting life through their exposure to Christianity. The same sort of thinking also gave Westerners license to rape women. In his own words, Columbus described how he himself ‘took [his] pleasure’ with a native woman after whipping her ‘soundly’ with a piece of rope.” -Helen Ellerbe, “The Dark Side of Christian History” (86-88)

By 1508 the settlers were responsible for 3-4 million native American deaths. We are not talking about some guy who accidentally bumped into America looking for a spice-trade route to India, but that’s what the standardized textbooks continue to tell our children. Columbus, the conquistadors, the Pirates, and many pilgrims were hostile and ruthless groups of settlers who were collectively responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of natives. Howard Zinn continues: “the Spaniards thought nothing of knifing Indians by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off them to test the sharpness of their blades … Las Cases says, ‘from 1494 to 1508 over three million people had perished from war, slavery, and the mines. Who in future generations will believe this? I myself writing it as a knowledgeable eyewitness can hardly believe it.’”

Bartolome De Las Cases was a catholic priest who witnessed the atrocities being committed in the name of God and wrote prolifically denouncing his fellow countrymen. Bartolome De Las Casas sailed to the “New World” in 1502 and recorded many of the things he saw in his book, “The Devastation of the Indies”:

“With my own eyes I saw Spaniards cut off the nose, hands and ears of Indians, male and female, without provocation, merely because it pleased them to do it … Likewise, I saw how they summoned the caciques and the chief rulers to come, assuring them safety, and when they peacefully came, they were taken captive and burned … (The Spaniards) took babies from their mothers’ breasts, grabbing them by the feet and smashing their heads against rocks … They built a long gibbet, low enough for the toes to touch the ground and prevent strangling, and hanged thirteen at a time in honor of Christ Our Savior and the twelve Apostles … Then, straw was wrapped around their torn bodies and they were burned alive … When the Spaniards had collected a great deal of gold from the Indians, they shut them up in three big houses, crowding in as many as they could, then set fire to the houses, burning alive all that were in them, yet those Indians had given no cause nor made any resistance …They would cut an Indian’s hands and leave them dangling by a shred of skin … they would test their swords and their manly strength on captured Indians and place bets on the slicing off of heads or cutting of bodies in half with one blow.”

On every island Columbus ‘discovered’ he planted a cross, claiming ownership for his Spanish Catholic patrons. He read declarations of God-given right to the native’s land in a language they couldn’t understand: “I certify to you that, with the help of God, we shall powerfully enter in your country and shall make war against you … and shall subject you to the yoke and obedience of the Church … and shall do you all mischief that we can, as to vassals who do not obey and refuse to receive their lord and resist and contradict him.” (D. Stannard, “American Holocaust”)

Perhaps you can understand why the word “cretin” derives from “Christian.” Native American chief Hatuey was captured and burned alive by the Christians. As he was being tied down, a Franciscan friar urged Hatuey to take Jesus into his heart so that he may go to heaven and not hell. The chief replied that if heaven was where Christians went, he would rather go to hell.

“Christopher Columbus is a symbol, not of a man, but of imperialism. Imperialism and colonialism are not something that happened decades or generations ago, but they are still happening now with the exploitation of people … dispossessed from their land and forced out of subsistence economies and into market economies – those processes are still happening today.” -John Mohawk, Seneca, 1992 (http://www.indians.org/welker/columbu1.htm)

Crhistopher Columbus is a very sensetive subject, not only because of his historical significance and injustice to the human race. But more because of the theological significance it is to kill loving peaceful people out of greed and the love for sin and doing so in the name of a merciful God because this will ensure any religion who does this to gain a reputation of Contradiction. "if heaven is where Christians go, I'd rather go to hell" These men of Columbus had no interest in heaven, hell is their desired afterlife. I honestly think 1492 was not only the beginning of the new world, but the end of the old one. And by this i mean it was the beginning of the new world order of the new age that is to be announced from the new Atlantis. I really am greatful for the way you gathered these quotes and symbols. The serpent is always motivating the decieved ones and they never fail to admit it.

We are way too quick to point fingers and act like atrocities like that can actually be blamed on some individual group or another, even though the things they are blamed for are often directly contrary to their doctrine.

Most never take the time to really understand what they are attacking, and there is WAY too much mis-information/programming floating around out there, clouding people's minds.

On top of that, the deeper the subject matter, the more they will try to skew it. The ultimate goal being to leave as many people "un-redeemable" as possible.

All that being said though, I also appreciate the information that you present on this blog. I check it often. Keep up the good work!

yea "anonymous", many people don't try to learn the things that are difficult to understand. But as you mentioned, control through duality is the phrase they use to describe how they have us pointing fingers and even weapons at eachother. I agree with you on everything except the thought that God will not Forgive someone who is honestly asking God's fogiveness for being so weak. Read my comment on the first Christopher Coumbus post, I deciphered the symbolic representation of his name meaning "The Traveller who bares Christ"...Not many people do what Eric does, he lives a good life.

yes i too was about to write off the symbol at first, because its vertical lines which is hard to call a symbol, i noticed in some pictures it looks like vertical lines with 3 bands around them, and in some like the columbus seal its 2 bands with a ax.

With the collection of pictures you can see its a common theme and is pretty amazing to see on the Us seals with the ax and a more discreet way. I wonder what the other seals on the columbus crest are?!

this blog was one david icke article away from a perfect ten. 9.99/10 awesome!

It is difficult to paint an accurate picture of colonial times. They call the atrocities committed by Spaniards against the indigenous the "Black Legend". "Legend" is a good word here for many reasons. One is because not every Spaniard involved approved of what was going on, another is that a large number of natives died from diseases. Las Cases makes mention of the impact of diseases in his writings, but he downplayed it somewhat so people wouldn't think that the deaths of the natives were at least partly out of their hands. Some contemporary estimates posit that 60 percent of the natives alive on Hispanola in 1494 died from smallpox alone over the next decade.. I'm not trying to defend anyone's actions,just saying there's good evidence that Las Cases and some others embellished their stories a bit.

Christopher Columbus wrote, “While I was in the boat, I captured a very beautiful Carib woman, whom the said Lord Admiral gave to me. When I had taken her to my cabin she was naked – as was their custom. I was filled with a desire to take my pleasure with her and attempted to satisfy my desire. She was unwilling, and so treated me with her nails that I wished I had never begun. But – to cut a long story short – I then took a piece of rope and whipped her soundly, and she let forth such incredible screams that you would not have believed your ears. Eventually we came to such terms, I assure you, that you would have thought that she had been brought up in a school for whores.

I think when it comes full circle Its pretty clear that the masonic government still honors this dueche bag because he was deeply connected in there gang.

The proof is all there, like many conspiracy theorys when you ask yourself some questions and connect the dots you see things dont add up or are connected to secret societys or groups with shared symbols!

I am suprised that more people dont connect the dots. For example these occupy wall street people, they are protesting that things are bad but not where it truley matters the Federal Reserve. I'm just suprised more people cant be explained things like the Fed and other overwhelming evidience like buildings( designed to withstand being hit by planes and stand) are falling without being hit at all, on a day the government didn't feel like shooting them down...) are falling etc. Mk ultra must have a ton of truth to it and maybe its in the water in a big way were people are literally like zombies, i dunno seems like it could be.

I will probably never understand why they gather around and make Columbus out to be some hero. Do they even know what he is responsible for?

Columbus set the scale for the genocide of the American natives and they make holidays and celebrate this douche bag, I just don't get it. it only took him 3 years to wipe out 5 million people, and they are too busy teaching us about the damn Holocaust in school and how we should feel sorry and sympathize for the jews but not the Indians.

When I was writing my blogs about school, I had a hard time really remembering much of the manipulated history I was taught but I do remember the excuses they constantly came up for when it came to slaughtering the indians. They however never ever told us what Columbus did when he came back to the land he found. They forgot to tell us that he went on a mass genocide killing spree.

Even in Columbus' own words, he bragged about how he could rule over these people and murder them in no time. Most of his own writing pretty much proves he didn't want to find new land, he was out to conquer and steal for his empire, even if it was to steal from his own men!

The Jews always celebrate the Holocaust every year. Relatives crying on TV, Hollywood makes at least 10 WW2 movies dedicated to them each year to sympathize for them, how come America can never own up to the fact that they also committed mass genocide? Look at Wounded Knee, they gave soldiers medals of honor for slaughtering those helpless indians, and they buried them in a mass grave, but they are too busy talking about the Germans from WW2 even though they did something far worse, they DID nearly wipe out the entire race of Indians.

ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE CHRISTOPHER WROTE THIS AND THAT AND HOW HE KILLED BLA BLA BLA AND HOW THE SPANIARD DID ALL THE ATROCITIES WHERE ARE YOUR SOURCE? JUST BECAUSE YOU WROTE "HE WROTE" BLA BLA BLA DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT MIGHT BE TRUE. AND THAT'S GREAT, TAKING INFORMATION FROM A BIAS SOURCE LIKE THE BLACK HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY IS SO VERY RELIABLE. IM INTERESTED IN HISTORY NOT A BOOK WHICH WAS WRITTEN TO CRITICIZE CHRISTIANITY. The Spanish did kill and they did exploit the Americas but they were not the cruelest or the most devilish evil monsters, their legacy is cultural integration and it is evident in latin America now, where there are clearly a large american Indian population and In some countries the people even speak their indian language eg. Guarani alongside Spanish. THIS IS ALL BLACK LEGEND STUFF, THAT WAS CREATED WITH A MOTIVE TO PAINT THE SPANISH AS DEVILS WHEN THEY WERE JUST LIKE ANY OTHER EMPIRES. Qin shi huang was not cruel? How about the mongols? How about the British who killed millions of native aboriginal people in Australia and in north America, committed atrocities in Africa and smuggled opium into china. Do you know what was the effect of the opium entering china? How many people suffered? The stolen generation and massacre in Australia? How the American Indians in north America Was purposely killed off? The French atrocities in Haiti? My poin is that in those times, that was how empires take over others. You are panning an unfair picture of the Spanish. It is ok to speak about history but to write about it in such a biased tone can send the wrong message to others, especially the naive people who just believe whatever they see on the Internet. The Aztecs themselves practiced human sacrifice and demanded other Indian tribes to give them humans to sacrifice. The Romans were also cruel in their co quests of new land. The Egyptians had slaves. The Spanish never purposely killed off natives. Spain even send people to vaccinate the Indians from diseases, yea and what about the British who deliberately gave the natives blankets infected with smallpox. The natives were protected by laws and natives could not be enslaved. There were intermarriages which created a huge mestizo population. Native Indian culture are fused with Spanish culture and they are part of the mainstream culture.
